Awaiting further info. Florence sorrel definitely born in 1910 as we celebrated her 100th birthday this year. She was born montrose in Scotland. Maybe that's why you cannot find her.

Well if she was 21 in 1907 then she would have been born in 1886.

The date of birth is taken from her death registration , so is only as accurate as the information given at the time of death.

Oh ok...i was told differently..but hey. Thankyou for your help though. I have never done any research like this before so am tryin all avenues.

April - there is no way you can view the 1911 census for free, sadly. I've searched the 1911 and can't find them, so your theory of Scotland supports that.

April

April Report 3 Oct 2010 16:21

I get so far and then it tells me i need to buy credits. I will try again if there is a way without needing credits. In 1911 i think she may have been in scotland as she had her daughter florence in montrose.

Have you got the family in 1911?
My 1911 census search keeps going down, but could not see Florence on first look.
